As Louisiana Tech's offense continues to go through Jekyll and Hyde practices, the one constant during spring practice has been an energized defense under the direction of first-year defensive coordinator Manny Diaz.

Tech threw on the pads again Wednesday in its 10th practice of the spring and ended with live tackling that produced several big plays for the defense. In the last 30 minutes alone, Diaz's unit notched a pair of pick-six's, an interception of first-team quarterback Ryan Higgins and a fumble recovery to close practice.
